10 Mind-Blowing Mods That Turn Fallout 3 Into Fallout 4

2. Improve The Animations

Download Fallout 3 Re-Animated Another marker that Fallout 3 ain't the spring chicken it used to be are the animations. It all looks a bit awkward and stiff next to the fluid movements we've come to expect from video games today, and every character has the strange habit of holding their gun out in front of them at all times like they're in an online deathmatch in the early 2000s. Inevitably, Fallout 4 looks much better in this area, but you can make the NPCs of Fallout 3 move far more believably with the Fallout 3 Re-Animated mod, which painstakingly reworks character animations to reflect the armour they're wearing, the weapons they're holding, and the position they're in. There are 80 animations in total, which make characters casually point their guns downwards when not in action, hold silenced pistols by their head in James Bond poses, and give Brotherhood of Steel troop more formidable postures. The mod also adds a slew of new animations to actions such as sneaking and crouching. Each weapon now has distinct animations to go with it too, making all NPCs in the game look more distinct and lifelike.
